on-line source for Wheelsmith DB15 spokes?
I've been digging around for on-line sellers of Wheelsmith spokes who offer the 1.8/1.55/1.8 DB15 model. Wheelsmith's Web site indicates that they manufacture a nice range of lengths...
https://wheelsmith.com/index_files/wsspokes.htm
...but they do not sell direct. I can find the odd example here and there, such as...
https://aebike.com/page.cfm?PageID=30...ils&sku=WM4294
and
https://www.cambriabike.com/shopexd.asp?id=26834
...but no place seems to list a full assortment of lengths, as with the DB14 and some of the other Wheelsmith spokes.
Does anyone know of a good source on-line for bags of 50 in a full range of lengths for the DB15?
Thanks!

Looks like Peter goes for DB14; not a single mention of the DB15 on his site...

...but I'll definitely check in with Peter if things aren't panning out!

Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!
Consider Wheelsmith XL14 spokes. They are 14/17/14 and are both light and durable. I had a set of Wheelsmith-made wheels assembled using Mavic CXP-33 rims, 32 hole Dura Ace hubs and XL14 spokes laced 3X and they lasted over 30,000 miles without requiring ANY truing.
